About:
Assh is a wrapper for SSH that enhances configuration management with advanced features. It supports regex-based host matching, dynamic host generation, and gateway commands, allowing for more flexible and powerful SSH configurations. This tool simplifies complex SSH setups and improves workflow efficiency.

Key Features:

Regex-based host matching and aliases
Dynamic host generation from external sources
Gateway command and jump host management
Support for configuration includes and inheritance

Use Cases:

Managing complex SSH configurations for multiple cloud servers and environments
Creating dynamic SSH hosts based on cloud provider APIs or inventory lists
Simplifying access to nested bastion hosts and jump servers

Alternatives:

ssh-config – Standard SSH config lacks regex, dynamic hosts, and advanced aliasing features.
mosh – Mosh focuses on roaming and unstable connections, not configuration management.
